Compliance Sea Change

Published May 2016

Data protection laws in Europe are more important than ever before - individuals are becoming more and more sensitive about privacy, data protection breaches are daily headline news, and the regulatory regime is getting tougher.

The last few years have seen significant developments in European data protection including an increase in the exercise of rights and more aggressive enforcement by national regulators. The pace of change does not look likely to slow down anytime soon: already in 2016, we have seen some significant enforcement cases.

The biggest change to the data protection landscape is now taking place with the introduction of new revised rules. Many big changes will come into force with the new European data protection regime. If data protection is not already high on your compliance checklist it should be.
